1 THE C4BI rOF BUONJPARTE. The complete crevt-lriNoient of the system of the Vretch Usurper, - Avhich Mr. GOLDMITI-1 hds given his valuable work, ;induced 'us to - think it an att of duty.to p'resent several extratls to our readers, cuid the satifiikon which warty of them haVe 'ex- pressed 'on the occasion, tempts us la renew our no :ice of a. product ion which c4nHot but have a bene. lic;al operation upon the public at large. We shall at present extra& thefollowing note, as it relates to a subjca which gate Occasion to misrepresentations of_ tht.-: most rancoron'i description, and to a spirit of pers-ccution, which had its origin . in feelings tT,Ty• dJerentiroin those of hublte spirit and art attach merit to that,COnstitution*which has so lung been a sonrc, of national pride, happiness, security, and hcedont. "'More I wont to France, I also was a reformer; but I was only a reformer; I am afrid :some .of our 'present refor'mers mean a revolution. I kno -their aim. Cotild they succeed in what they hold out - to the public' as a 'reform, they would endea vour to bring about a revolutiOn. What should we have in exchange for our present system ? A' free gOverntnent ?- No ! Buonaparte would not permit that ; we must have a brother, or some bastard re lation °ibis, as king and vassal to him. Irtm note to p. 248, 1 had occasion to allude to an expression of Bnon,tparte, on the subject of the Inquiry instituted by Colonel Wardle, into the sup posed abuses in the Office of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, then Commander in Chief. ,The e& i tression• was, " - Voila nos scenes de 1793, " There art• our exhibitions of 1793 ;" as if an in quiry, regularly instituted and calmly investigated in a celiberat:rie 'assembly of the Representatives of a Great Nation, could be compared with the tu multuous proceedings of a mob in Paris, and the massacres and enormities which were committed in• that ill-toed city in the year 1793..

" I know nothing of Colonel.

THE LATE STORM. (raom THE BOSTON PAPER.) We mentioned last week the way in which Mr. Smith JeSsop lost his life by the water, and slightly noticed the drowning of two females at Fosdyke,— 'Several other persons, we lament to ad(), have lost - their lives by the calamity. Ingtiesis were Held by •• Walter Davis, Gent. Coroner, on Wednesday last, at' Fosdyke, on Esther Tunnard and Ann Burton, both of whoin•-were drowned by the flood inundat ing their himble dwellings. The poor women re treated to the upper stories ; but these were in-, suffiicient - in elevation to save them, and their cries for assislance were unavailing.'• 'Alia Burton was 85 years of age. Ann.Marfreet, a servant of Mr. Birkett, of the same place, was surrounded by the flood on Satur day night, the 10th, whilst milking tier master's: cows in a pasture near the house, and perished with out the possibility of being assisted._ The body of, the unfortunate woman was not diScovered tit yes terday, when it was found to have lodges, under a hay-stack. The Coroner's Inquest . was held this morning. William Green, a servant of Mr. William Kel sey, of the parish of Boston, was drowned on Thurs day last, in riding down to his master's farm at Fistitoti. The deceased was lad aboUt sixteen years of age; he had on several preceding days during, • the flood ridden down to Fishtott ; but taking a new road through the water on Thursday,. his horse is supposed to have slipped into a ditch and thrown him. An Inquest. was held by Mr. Davis On Friday. The same Coroner, on the 13th and 16th in stant, heldlnquests at Fishioft,., on the bodies of a boy found drowned (supposed to belOng to the Ambler, Captain Clay) ; and of John Jackson and William Black, two of the crew of a schooner. . which was thilted from the scalp,- and was wreck ed.duringthe late gale. And on the 15th an In cuest Wil3 held at Gibraltar . Point, in the parish of Wainfleet . All saintS, on the body of a man un knriwn, found drowned. _ _ _ In Claxby church-yard, on Sunday last, we un derstand the bodies of 36 mariners, which had been cast on the coast by the tides, were, with the usual rites of the church, committed to the earth. xhe scene must have 'been wonderfully impressive and shocking. The various accounts from the parishes along the coast are 'More Or less distresSing in the relation of dead bodies being found. Twt_nty vessels were wrecked off Salifleet, and the whole of the ctews of some them perished ; the bodies of these have been mostly cast on shore-; and an active and melancholy duty has fallen to the.Minkters'and of ficers of the 'parishes in which they have been found.. The oldest person - living on the coast declare, that that they have not knowp so dismal a time in this particular as the present. corn-stacks on Mr. Kemp's farm at Fishtoft, we understand, are yet up nearly to the eaves in water this Gentleman, of all the sufferers by the deluge, has been, e beljev.e; the greateit.

'patriotic parties scattered" over the Whole Peninsula incessantly annoy and slowly annihilate their' in vaders are so multiplied, that it is difficult to giVe an account of them. Of many we are ignorant, or only imperfectly know . them, because they take place in the centre of the provinces occupied by the enemy; and because the Chiefs• of he he Guerrillas, are not very anxious to give an account of their opera- Lions. ' 'But it` is neither justice'to the public, and espel cially to our translantic brethern, to deprive thetn of information so' interesting—nor to the authors of these exploits to defraud them, by cone , :alment, of the reputation which They merit.. We have, theie fore, colleted the following summary - details, which are arranged in the order of time; for the pur 7 pose of giving a specimen of that mode of war fare which is carried on in the heart of the Penni- sula: On the 16th June, pon Francisco,Espoz y Mina intercepted, between Tatrala and Pamplona, a coerier, escorted.by 140 men: They were ail made prisoners, , with the exception 'of a soldier and posti liOn,'Who were killed on the spot. same L 4 - .• poz, on the 19th, with 500 men, aitai_ked a name robs- French det achinent„Whieh escorted a very cots -siderable convoy, and Part of the gaiiisrm of Mequi nyritzi; Made Prisoners iThe Combin:iastcd tw6hOurs. fie- could not liberate 'the - Spanish . solcii67 . ; bUt he toOk sbrne priSdnets and hOtskis, a bag of letters, a Er"eai quarkity olaminunitiOn, 70u swords, and 300 inHntry sabres. - ' ' From the aOth June to the 3d of •Julytkie party of-Espitz y Mina_ ii as in doritant attion; . 360 French, who had taken post in the Sierra of Alaiz, were only able to open to t:.enisq-lves a passage atter a contest oi' ti've hours, in consequence of the aimnuirition of tire patriots being spent ; Out the latter t00k,47 pri soners, among whom was the Commander, and the loss of the enemy, including killed and wounded,- amOunted to 135 men. 00 tile 3d July; 500 French .having marched from Pamplona, .Espoz with 700,0 f `his men forced them to retreat towards Noaio ; but. 'the enemy having received considerable reinforce ments, he retired to Guerendiain, with the loss of one •killed and nine wounded ; time French lost 23 killed, and a,quantity.oi ammunition as taken from them. In Catalonia, Don Narciso Gay, conunanding eorps of militia,. with 200 of his own men, and as map) , of: the compainies of liabregas and Olivares, on the 30th June, succeeded in killing 40 French, wounding as many, and making prisoners, in sight, of 150 of the eemy, who werediawn up in S. Martirian de Bannlas. The same Gay having ap• proached Bezala in the night of theath July, and fired 'on the enemy's sentinels, struck such terror into them, that they evacuated the. town, and took refuge in the fortress of Santa Maria, abandoning 'their baggage, muskets, and knapsacks. The weJter part at the officers, including the Commandant, eteaped in their shirts. r.klle enemy woulool not come out' till the 116 when they did so to the number of 800. foot and 20 horse. • An attion took place at_ casteltullit, which lasted'five hours s' . at. the close. of which the enemy fled, leaving on the field a nmuber of ' muskets, knapsacks,. &c., They lila nineteen killed -and fitly Wounded.'

The Spantards entered liirathb*S amidst the acclamations of the inhabitants ; 011eeted the ands, atumunitiOn; and "other eticds abandoned by the enemy, and des lioyqd the forti6cations which they had construct- ed. In several -intercepted- letters from General Bel-. hard.to Berthier, of date bth 6th and .7th July; he speaks of various patrionc.parties, of .which even the Spanisli Government have no knowledge from any' other source. fle speaks. of their having appeared at 'Litres,.

The at.-tion lasted 6 hours; and the enemy retired under fat our of the daikuess of the night, leaving seventy killed on the field, among .whom was a Colonel. The loss of the Patriots itt these two anions was of small amount. The Gazettes of Seville for the month of July, make mention .of the parties of 'Francisco Diaz, called el Cojo, who secured the province of Cordoba; of that of SJlvadorde Sierra. in the dis'riet 'of Ecija . ; ofanother, in Pahna del Rio and of others which had skirmished - with the troops oft& babstTani in Berja. On the 7th August, the Commandant Don An tonio Bueno arrived at Bada , joz,• having, with his party of 200 men, ‘beaten an equal force in the vici nity of Montoro.Be killed 85 of the enemy, took 12 prisoners, besides 61,000 reals; 400 sheep, 24 ar robas of balls, and 18 of gunpowder. Bueno lost one man, and three horses. About the 251 h of the same month several carts loaded with silver set' orit florn Valladolid, for France, escorted hy"2oo men ; but the Patriots at tacked them at a short distance from tire town, and obliged theM to retreat. In Consegnence . a reinforce ment of 400 men marched out, but arrived too late. About the'saine time the' Patriots took 30 French soldiers, and two officers, on the lot:ark Walk at Val ladolid ; and not far . far from Ciudad ROdrig, in a country occupied by the army of Massena, 100 dra goons, escorting three carriages;. richly laden, also tell into the hands of the Patriots. 'Massena' was in consequence obliged to detach four reg;meirts of dragoons to guard the road'from Cuidad Rodrigo to _ Salamanca. fiCt he same-month, D. Manuel PaStrana bet ween Aliguelterra and Almagro, engaged 124 French in fantry and 80 horse, of whom he killed five,Wound ed a greater number, and took several 'stragglers.— D. Baldomero Tores, with his party of 30 men, killed or wounded S 6 Frenchmen in the envisions of Navalmoral, in the province of Toledo; and 70 cattle, and other valuable effeas. About the end of August the party of M Ca milk) Gomez entered AlmOnacid, killed the C6rn niander of the French garrison, and took '3O load 61 lead.
